Mmmm I'm in the mood for a Nanner-Splitter drizzled down with Vanilli-Milli Sauce.

. Wow Banana Splits.Fleegle was about the music. Snorky got suoer into heroin and twisted off. Rock and Roll True Stories has a great video on them.

Bravo

@@geraldfriend256 Absolutely, some in the know consider the Splits the original & baddest of rock's bad boys.

@@3ld919 So much more insidious than a band like Sabbath.

...for advanced graduate students. Kidding, but his theory goes over my head so often on these, I realize just how much I don't know. And his playing...

@@sundaynightdrunk Exactly the same emotions were gurgling around in my head. Thank you for speaking for both of us.

​@@mrmockatoo6786 3 of us

Thanks!

I would actually not object to Rick Beato giving me waffles.

Same here these types of videos sucked me into this channel and I love that he put another one out!

no I just disagree most music in western society only uses major, melodic minor, harmonic maj/minor and double harmonic maj/minor and neopolotin scales, yes the messian are there too but we in the West have barley scratched the surface there is so much more out there that needs to be explored if we wanna say how many diatonic 7 notemodes there are there's be about 431 we are stuck in the first 50 or so ,not to take away at all his knowlage is very profound

​@bathrobeman66 you should check out Ian Ring and his work on all possible scales. I've been exposed to some fascinating ones from him.

Some would love if he stared in an adult movie and composed the entire score of the film 🙌

@@kane6529 wtf?

@@kane6529 exactly my thoughts too. Well said sir.

@@kane6529 lol 😅

That is definitely real and not a scam at all.

@@electricwhiterabbit wow, contradicting an expert in music theory in his own channel is certainly bold. Looking forward to his answer, if he sees your comment!

Every Composer understands that Tool's song composition is cinematic.

@@gregoryl.levitre9759 Very much so.

The link is the mode. And I could have told you that

Johann Sebastian Bach meets Keit Jarrett ... simply AMAZING !!!

Nice!👍

Was thinking the same. Also Riverside, I believe.

Heads-up. sounds much like a scam

@@ianperry5522 It is. Please report it.

@@ianperry5522 what does

@@oscarriley9265 That comment probably got removed because they reported it.

'nuff said

I'm pretty sure the secrets of universes are in the mathematics of Tool songs.

Ah yes the All American band Tool! Haha

@@treyhudson73 yes that was what the song "prison sex" was all about

Same

Fav movie ever! Such a good scene

Thats funny you say that. Those aerial shots reminded me of the beginning scenes of The Shining, another film besides 2001 directed by Kubrick

That film is so slow-paced and hard to take in but 100% worth it, at least for me (reading the novel helps a lot too).

Ligeti for the win.

yeah my guitar teacher (a cool dude who sold all his stuff to travel to the USA to study at GIT) around nearly 30 yrs ago told me, when I was around 14 "thats the scale the metal kids like most" (E Harmonic Minor 5 (HM5 Scale)). Being such a kid myself he had me listening maybe thats why I seem to remember that day so vividly, I know exactly where I was sitting when I got to know that scale :) He showed me the Harmonic Minor Scale first and once you now it, you only need to start at the 5th.. I didnt know it under the name phrygian dominant (which I also find a bit misleading because in none of the modes you have that of a large intervall like in the harmonic minor scale). I've always liked the harmonic minor scale ever since but I dont think it's much of a secret to metal players :)

Harmonic minor is Natural Minor with a sharp 7th I think

@@Cosmefulanito2812 yes

@@Cosmefulanito2812 Harmonic Minor, like you said has the 7th raised a semitone. Natural Minor is the same as the Aeolian Mode ... lowered 6th and 7th note. Melodic Minor has a raised 6th an 7th note while ascending up the scale and lowers the 6th and 7th note in a descending pattern.

@@Cosmefulanito2812 and you take harmonic minor and use the 5. As your root note, than you've got that scale. For example start with E on your A harmonic minor. It's the same principle from which you can create all modes out of the major, ionian, scale..

They didn’t play it cause people wanna hear it…

@@matthewkennedy7283 not true, they play what they wanna play, that's all. They played the Grudge, the pot and Hooker with a penis the same night, im pretty sure everyone wanted to hear this (maybe less true for HWAP but still). They just play what they want to (outside of the song of the last album when they tour to support it)

@anthony - have u seen pneuma on vic firth?😅 i guess u have… he might be getting older but dude‘s a beast🙌🏻 would shock me if that was the reason for them not to play it

They played it when I saw them in 2020.

I'm waiting on the 7empest.

That movie has a great soundtrack. Come back to us is my favorite

"The Night Window" is awesome. Christian Williams used it on his video diary of solo sailing the Pacific as he arrived in Hawaii. The music and majestic rolling sea as land came into sight choked me up.

The Night Window is goosebumps inducing especially coupled with Roger Deakins visuals. It's like the music becomes symbiotic with the light movements.

Yeah, we also use it in Middle Eastern Music, it's Maqam Hijaz, but it's used in a rather different way, not with polyphony, but with monophony and rhythms that are not common to Western Europe. Also, different melismatic colorings of compositions. You can actually have a totally different mode if you use it with radically different musical vocabulary, just like Spanish and Greek, which have nearly identical phonemes, but very different vocabulary.

You're right about the b6! Maybe I was thinking backwards, it's a scale often used playing over a a Dom7b9 chord.

In greece I went into a record store with an I dont give up so easy sales person. He made me buy a record of a greek guitar player named Takis Barberis called Porto Kayo. I recommend this to everyone who wants to try greek music mixed with middle east vibes in a kind of smoth instrumental jazz style.

hejaz is where it came from. Yes, it's an arabic exotic scale.

Yup. Just commented in another post on this name of it. In Turkish, it's spelled 'hicaz,' & pronounced the same way.

Correct. That's "Hejaz" scale (except the 7th degree, which should be a major as well) and movie soundtrack composers taught us when a desert scene comes up this scale enters. It's interesting Rick doesn't know this and showcased the music inappropriately showing us castles from Northern Europe and some rocket take offs. :D :D

@@alpyre , Hicaz has a minor 7th (m2, M3, m6, m7, p4, p5). Some regions may have a quarter tone on the 3rd. I don't know the name of the scale in maqaam, but if you have min 2, maj 3, min 6, maj 7 in Indian classical raga, it is called 'bhairav.'

My biggest current obsession / woodshed activity is working on the altered scale, i.e. 7th mode of melodic minor, but I really like some of the other modes of that scale too, e.g. "lydian dominant" etc

You just put that so succinctly it started to make sense to me

If you listen to Maynards vocals in many Tool songs, they have an almost "call to prayer" quality to them.

Yes I think he should have mentioned that. My own guitar piece (in DADGAD) with this scale is rhythmically a blend of northern Morocco (where I live) and Spain (which I can see from my window). It sounds almost traditional to these parts, but play the riff with distortion on and it's instant heavy-metal...

Super knowledgeable comment. Thank you. And I agree, sprinkling in exotic elements is superior to a whole plate of… cloves!!

That would be awesome

A slightly shorter string length would add a few cents sharpness to the octave pitches. Wonder if that ties in with the sneaky tuning Adam Neely talked about in his latest video.

That's what I was reminded of but couldn't think of!

Tool and Radiohead. Two of my favorites. This chord usage in music must sublimely strike me.

Reminds me of Los Mariachis

Pyramid Song In Particular

everything in its right place as well

I never found it to be evil sounding. I get a sense of awe or adventure vibe from it.

There were parts of it that made me think of Stargate...

Paul D'Amour of Tool worked with Hans on the Dune score.

I love that track. I however don't think it's Phrygian mode. It is in an Hindustani classical scale called Ahir Bhairav which is Major b2 b6 (flat 2nd and 6th) or Phrygian mode with sharp 3rd and 7th?

@@SohamJambhekar You're right I went back to listen to it and most of the track seems to be in D double harmonic major, which is basically phrygian dominant but with a major 7th instead of a b7 (it does eventually go to a C minor chord which uses the flat 7 though so it's kind of a mix).

@@SubtleHawk Yep, like a modal mixture of phrygian dominant and double harmonic major.

and flamenco wins by 200 years

Great pick. Let There Be More Light is one of my favourite all-time songs, and from one of my favourite all-time albums.
